Lauryn Harper is on a mission to excel at work and retire by 40. However, her plan is derailed when a misunderstanding leads to her demotion and transfer. While Lauryn eagerly works on getting back to head office she learns maybe her old life was not so great after all. Shauna Robinson is quickly becoming a must read author for me. This book is all heart. Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the ARC.

Too bad this doesn't come out until September because it would be the perfect beach read for the summer. I finished it in one morning so it was a quick, easy read.

Fun characters with interesting back stories, lots of drama and a happy (but somewhat predictable) ending.

In Shauna Robinson's Lauryn Harper Falls Apart, Lauryn is demoted and transferred from her job at Ryser in Washington, DC to small-town Virginia, disrupting her 8-year career plan because of some misunderstood communication. Expecting another promotion, she instead finds herself in the company's neglected charity department, where no one seems to be doing any real work. It's bad enough that she's back in her home town, but she also needs to figure out how to ingratiate herself with management and reclaim her old job.

Reuniting with Marina, her former best friend, Lauryn decides to try to bring back the town's apple festival--hopefully with financial support from Ryser--to raise some much-needed funds to keep the community center open. How she rallies her new coworkers to become a team, overcoming roadblocks and disappointments, and restores her friendship with Marina is fun to read, and each character is well portrayed and interesting. If you're expecting it to be a romcom, you will be disappointed (no romance in sight), but that was fine with me. My only problem with the story is that the reason for Lauryn's banishment from her job could easily have been resolved.

My thanks to Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and provide an honest review of this book.

I really enjoyed this book. It had humor, but at the same time was touching. The characters were well done, and I liked the character arcs a lot.
